The Academy Members Project: Wish List A-D

Pictured: Here at The Academy Members Project, we don’t just follow Jiminy Cricket’s advice to wish upon the stars, we also research the stars! Our goal is to identify and celebrate all the artists who get to vote for the Oscars. And we’re certain that, in time, our dreams will come true!

Wish List A-D

Updated 4/8/2018

Note that this is NOT a Members Page. The people listed below are still being researched.

Josh Aronson - (Oscar Nominated Documentarian) Sound And Fury (IMDB) (5/4/2001 Documentary Awards Executive Committee Meeting in Guggenheim Production Records, File .f-8044 - May have been reclassified as confidential since my viewing on 2/2/2017 -- Note: This documents shows that he was rejected for membership in 2001. It is unclear whether he might have been invited at a later date)

Leelai Demoz - (Oscar Nominated Documentary Producer) (IMDB) (5/4/2001 Documentary Awards Executive Committee Meeting in Guggenheim Production Records, File .f-8044 - May have been reclassified as confidential since my viewing on 2/2/2017 -- Note: This documents shows that he was rejected for membership in 2001. It is unclear whether he might have been invited at a later date)

Leslie Dixon - (Writer/Producer) (IMDB) (Note: MovieCityNews 2/1/2016 confirms that at least one of the writers for Thomas Crowne Affair is a member, but this may refer to the 1968 original instead of the 1999 remake)

I hope you find confirmation that William Daniels is indeed a member, as you've already confirmed the membership of his wife, Bonnie Bartlett. I find it'd odd that she'd be a member, but he would not be.

Good news Alex! I did indeed find William Daniels' name on one of the lists I got at the library. It's undated but I estimate that it's from approximately 1987 (give or take a year). Should be updated on the page now.
